You've only been here 4 weeks, so it's far too soon to decide what's doing well and what's not. Your early traffic is nearly all from other Hubbers. You need to wait until you're getting most of your traffic from search engines, then you can see which ones are earning and which aren't. Give it six months at least.

In my view I would not worry about until you get known around the traps(hubpages). I have only deleted a couple in two years.Mostly though I try to editing them to try and improve them. By the way I've just looked at a couple of yours and they apear pretty good !

Try unpublishing then doing some editing first. You can change things like your title or add/revise text and you can try adding some media like videos or pictures.

see if there is anything that stands out as to why a hub may not be preforming as well as others and try to fix it. Maybe see how other hubbers layout and setup a hub and try to use a similar format. You may be surprised how a few simple changes can help a struggling hub

Don't delete them, don't even unpublish them. Go in and edit. Work on the title first. Use Google adwords for title help. Make sure you have good tags. Keep working on the ones that have low traffic until they get better.

Good advice. I've noticed several people talking about unpublishing before they edit - I never do. It's unnecessary - just edit.

As for writers "not darnig to go back to correct the mistakes they made before they knew better" - well, Charm, I agree that's just dumb. Of course you should go back and improve your Hubs as you learn more!

Greetings - I agree with letting the hubs that don't perform well sit and marinate. You never know, you could do well by going back to modify them, but using a different approach.

There have been times that I have went to a low performing hub and cut out a section to use in a related hub. In fact, I plan on doing that kind of "spring cleaning" with all my hubs. I know everyone has their own take on things, and some writers wouldn't dare go back to correct the mistakes they made before they knew better. But while I still have all kinds of fresh new stuff to write about - I have some darn good material already out there that I KNOW could be performing a lot better.

I'm going back to cut some of those looooooooong hubs down, get rid of some of those zillions of links that land on low performing pages with a less than a "0" page rank! I mean I could go on about what's wrong with at least half of my hubs from a monetizing perspective. So needless to say, you guys know what my New Year's resolution is!!!

This is why I don't do well with backlinks - too damn long winded - LOL

I just recently went through my many hubs and came to realize that almost every hub I did involving youtube videos had broken links. So I went to go fix the links only to find that these hubs were lame. I started deleting all hubs that don't generate traffic or are just plain...

How many times do you edit an idled Hub before deleting it? Or do you keep it idled so that links to it are still good? Also, for what reasons do you either leave it idled or delete it or still try to fix it? I have one Hub which I've edited a few times, and this last time after I edited it, it...

In a forum I read recently someone commented that Google looks down on your subdomain if it contains many poor articles. But how do I tell which is considered poor?Can I tell by hubscore? Some of my hubs are in the 60s, but have thousands of page views and others with fewer views are scored much...

I have read somewhere here that google search engines take into account the page-views to compute ranking. Is it advisable to delete non-performing Hubs, those with 0 pageviews a day, as a way to increase traffic in an attempt to increase ranking?How do you deal with low-performing hubs?thanks in...
